Apple Vision Pro Chief Paul Meade Reportedly Leaving for OpenAI's Hardware Team
TechCrunch·medium signal
Paul Meade, the Apple vice president in charge of the Vision Pro headset, is reportedly departing to join OpenAI's hardware team. The move adds a senior spatial-computing leader to OpenAI's still-secretive device effort (the Jony Ive collaboration) and continues the pattern of OpenAI poaching hardware talent from incumbents. It also underscores Apple's ongoing difficulty retaining leaders amid its slower AI push.
